THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH FRINGE!

I wasn't lying when I said one of the awesome things about Fringe was how the main action hero is a girl. Because seriously, this isn't a selective slice of the show. I mean, she gets to do stuff other than fuck up people's shit, sure, cus she's the main character. She gets to do things like have awesome and confusing and pissed-off conversations with morally ambiguous middle-aged women with robot arms and Leonard Nimoy about how she may or may not be teh speshulz and destined to like, save the world or something. BUT ALSO SHE DOES STUFF LIKE THIS.

(For the spoilerphobic, to be honest, this isn't a narrative vid and most of the spoilers are so out of context you wouldn't understand them anyway. Though the framing device, such as it is, might spoil you for one of the major start-of-S2 plotlines. But like...WATCH IT ANYWAY. It's not like you'll really remember or anything. YOU WILL JUST REMEMBER THE ASS-KICKING.)

Aaah, see, here I am lucky (or perhaps unlucky). All I know of JJ Abrams previous works is the first two seasons of Alias which were awesome (IRINA DEREVKO), and the new Star Trek movie. So while I know and believe others who say that he inevitably screws up the ends of his shows, I haven't yet had the emotional devastation that goes hand in hand with that.

There are two other executive producers credited in the titles though, so perhaps they will mitigate the Abrams Factor? *ponders...*
